Johann Sebastian Bach - Chaconne in D minor, for solo violin, BWV 1004 by Veronique De Raedemaeker 

Bach would be very happy if he could hear your play!

The arpeggiated passage is one of the most expressive I've ever heard! The voicing is sublime.❤

Brava! Brava! A beautifully moving performance of this great masterpiece of Bach's unfathomable genius. I could almost feel the tearing _grief_ of Bach. Bach in 1720, leaving his 35 yr old wife and seven children behind, had accompanied his employer Prince in one of his multi-month trips to a health spar. When he returned he was informed that his beloved wife, Maria Barbara, had died and was already _buried._ He composed the Chaconne shortly afterwards. It is Bach crying out to God. IMO it has to be performed in this spirit and Veronique De Raedemaeker does this masterfully.

Absolutely timeless… thank you Veronique

Eccellente, straordinaria

Dazzlingly spiritual, listening to you playing Bach Chaconne was like a door to another world of sublime beauty. I will never play like you on this side of the grave but it's a boon to know you!

Прозвучало просто сказочно !!! - браво !!!

Love your sound wonderful G string dark & deep Bach would love it

Heifetz and Perlman and Stern can play it and today all younger ones think it is so easy why not perform it. To my opinion the difficulty is double. This is technically demanding. Who masters the technical ability of Heifetz or Perlman ? Even in maturity at about 50 years very few reach their standard. Then comes the musicality of this piece, to demonstrate the sublime unhappiness and joy with a clarity this is here the most difficult task. In no competition this piece has been ever played. One can ask why Johann Sebastian has given us this wonderful chaconne in such an extreme difficulty. When the great Mendelssohn studied this piece he exclaimed that nobody will ever be able to master it because it is technically beyond the capacity of any violonists. It is said that the deep sorrow of this piece is the reflection of Bach’s feelings he had when coming home from a small performance hearing that his beloved wife had passed and was already buried.

I thoroughly enjoy your interpretation. Very good voicing and weighty but not overly heavy. Keep it up!

Thank you for this great moment, I discover your play, a pleasure !

Beautiful rendition.

Thank you for this interpretation. It is the only one I've heard which takes the time to properly savor the melodic flow and harmonic resonance, i.e., to give room for the overtones which is so key for Bach. Beautifully done. Thank you for the dedication it has taken to offer this to the world.

The only interpretation I've heard that makes me feel the dance of the music

I have listened several interpretations of this piece on internet. Yours is perfect for me. You have an extraordinary talent. Thank you so much for your passion. Real music is alive❤

Wow. such a nice sound! The chords are absolutely great. Well done

speechless and teary-eyed! ❤

Best arpeggio I've ever heard

I was in heaven… Thank you… 🙏

Excellent location too!

Bravo 😢❤

Amazing Veronique 🌷

An excellent violinist, his instrument Peter Greiner sounds like a transition from the violin to the viola.

I think this is the best version I have ever heard. Thank you!

Sounded amazing, only critique is that occasionally the contact point would shift and there would be playing just above the fingerboard

Amazing version.

This movement is full of expressions, beautifully performed 👍👍

Thank you for sharing such beautiful and inspiring interpretation! Subscribed 👍

Very moving play, I love your interpretation of Bach

Excellent, this is really Bach.

Ah, de Chaconne! Prachtig Veronique!

Porywająco, perfekcyjnie !!!

oh my god, thank you thank you veronique, this is unbelievably revealing and consoling and convincing and moving and admirable, chapeau and brava!!

Can you play the entire piece in the dance fashion of the first half page? It is easy to go ‘sentimental’ with this piece. I was very much inspired with the first passage. Thank you!

Very beautiful and so deep. I enjoyed so much. Thank you for share. From Iran...❤❤❤

Perfect interpretation, congrats😀

incroyable, félicitations

Best chaconne ever by Henryk Szeryng...

so amazing!!!thank you!~~

wanderfull interpretation

Dear Veronique, you play beautifully. I would like to hear you at Ciacconna in a few years. I am asking you not to stop performing this extremely difficult piece. As an old teacher, I hear that you are not completely comfortable playing yet.

Very rich and warm sound of the violin, you play the piece more slowly than many 'stars', which I like very much. By means of the slower tempo you can shape the lovely details more carefully. Your interpretation reminds me a bit of the one by the 17-year-old Hilary Hahn, which I like best. ❤

Perfetto 👏👏👏

magnifique version ! mille bravo

marvelous , nothing to say

Thank you Veronique for your wonderful performance and amazing work. It is immeasurable. So beautiful, so fascinating. The double stubs respond to your violin so crystal clear. A feast to the ear. Thank you again and again. It is such a great contribution to the world.🙏 Could you let us know what kind of violin you are playing? Thanks. Best Wishes.🙏

Amazing!!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😭😭

Such a beautiful, pure sound, but a bit too tame for my taste. A nice performance nevertheless!
